Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 116, No. 1 (January 2, 2019), pp. 73-78 (6 pages) We report high-precision Mg isotopic analyses of different types ...

Magnesium isotope geochemistry has emerged as a pivotal tool in deciphering Earth’s surface and subsurface processes, particularly in the context of chemical weathering. By studying the subtle ...

In collaboration with an international team of researchers, Michigan State University has helped create the world’s lightest version, or isotope, of magnesium to date. Forged at the National ...

Magnesium isotope geochemistry has emerged as a fundamental tool for decoding the complex pathways of elemental cycling in marine environments. The isotopic composition of magnesium (commonly reported ...

Attempting to understand how heavy elements are formed inside stars and supernovas, Michigan scientists have created three unusually heavy isotopes of magnesium and aluminum, including one that has ...

An international team led by scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has reproduced an exotic form of magnesium, known as magnesium-40, and ...

Members of the NAI UCLA team led by Ed Young are using high-precision analysis of tiny grains in meteorites to probe the earliest history of the solar nebula. The age of the solar system is set at ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. David Bressan is a geologist who covers curiosities about Earth. Yet scientists have failed to grow significant amounts of ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — You might have thought that scientists had already cataloged the 118 natural elements–from hydrogen to silicon to uranium–and their various isotopes. Unfortunately, only the first ...

Nuclear physicists have long been producing new isotopes by trying to cram as many neutrons as possible into them. But there is a limit to how many neutrons that can be squeezed into a nucleus with a ...
